A trading plan is more important than the trade itself. Most people treat trading as an impromptu performance, impulsively placing orders when they see opportunities, but they forget the complexity of the market and need to plan ahead.

A few people treat trading as a strategy,
creating detailed plans before entering, clarifying goals, setting stop-losses, and keeping trades orderly.
They know that a trading plan is the foundation of success; only by planning each step carefully
can they find opportunities amid market fluctuations. Every impulsive trade is a waste of opportunity; every carefully planned move is a sign of respect for success.
Only by developing a solid trading plan
can you find your own opportunities amid market volatility. Like a monk in meditation, unaffected by external chaos, just focus on breathing; like a boat sailing with the current, not asking about the destination, just moving forward.
Tonight, print out the monthly chart of the most tangled stock in your watchlist and put it on the wall. Calm your mind, observe each candlestick carefully, and feel its rhythm.
If your plan isn’t set by tomorrow morning, keep waiting; if it is, act decisively.
Let your plan guide you, and let the market help you make money.
